Stratum corneum dysfunction in dandruff [PDF]
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2012 SynopsisDandruff is characterized by a flaky, pruritic scalp and affects up to half the world’s population post‐puberty. The aetiology of dandruff is multifactorial, influenced by Malassezia, sebum production and individual susceptibility. The commensal yeast Malassezia is a strong contributory factor to dandruff formation, but the presence of ...

Contact and frictional properties of stratum corneum of human skin
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2015 Most skin tribology studies gave attention on the examination of frictional properties of normal and healthy skin surfaces. This study aims to investigate the frictional and mechanical properties of skin under different load and friction conditions after

Recent Advances on Topical Application of Ceramides to Restore Barrier Function of Skin
Cosmetics, 2019 Human skin is the largest organ of the body and is an effective physical barrier keeping it from environmental conditions. This barrier function of the skin is based on stratum corneum, located in the uppermost skin.

Hydration Disrupts Human Stratum Corneum Ultrastructure [PDF]
, 2003 Using transmission and cryo-scanning electron microscopy, we confirm that extended water exposure leads to extensive disruption of stratum corneum intercellular lipid lamellae.

β-Glucocerebrosidase activity in mammalian stratum corneum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 Although previous studies have demonstrated a crucial role for the enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GlcCer'ase) in the final steps of membrane structural maturation in mammalian stratum cornuem (SC) and epidermal homeostasis, the precise in vivo localization

Heterogeneous Drying Stresses in Stratum Corneum [PDF]
, 2012 We study the drying of stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer and an essential barrier to mechanical and chemical stresses from the environment. Even though stratum corneum exhibits structural features across multiple length-scales, contemporary ...

Transepidermal water loss: the signal for recovery of barrier structure and function.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1989 Previous studies have demonstrated that perturbations in barrier function stimulate epidermal lipid synthesis and that this increase can be prevented by occlusive membranes.
